NEW PROJECTS

This modification solves many problems
Davo seat slides out so you can use the whole
cushion
The bunk / back no longer hits the top of the
cushion
so you can raise the seat
The Seat is raised about 2 inches so it no
longer
hits the step underneath
The Seat will slide back into the original position.

This is a bolt-on modification. No drilling, welding, or
modifications
made to the original couch. Using standard parts from Home Depot
the whole project should only take a couple of hours. ( that is
what
they all say)

Now in the bed mode you can slide the couch up to the wall in the
original
position, and in the Couch mode you can slide the couch up against the
seat back so you get the whole cushion to sit on. The only long
storage
in the GMC, is now available from the top of the couch, buy lifting the
back up.

Two tracks are made from electrical Uni-strut channels and the
sliders
for the couch use the nuts that are used to attach to these
channels.
Two tracks are cut "14 inches long and 4 of the 3/8 nuts are
required.
There are small teath in the sliding chanels of the nuts that
need
to be ground out so the sliders will not jam and grab the channels.

FINGER PINCHING COUCH MODIFICATIONS

GMC Danger
How to lose your finger tips and how to protect against that.
If you close the upper bunk while holding the outer right edge of the
bunk
you risk loosing the finger tips of your right hand. This mod will add
a rope handle to the middle of the bunk. Mark

Our good buddy Dallas, has published a different version of this where
he runs the hold-up belt through the middle of the couch hinge and then
hooks this up to the ceiling to hold up the bunk bed out of the
way.
This belt can also be used to fold up the Bunk. I don't
have
the pictures since they are lost in GMCMM. But I am going to try
this
modification and then I will publish the pictures. Gene
